What do customers say?

Reviewers praise the coffee's body and richness, along with strong pastries and a welcoming space for gathering. However, the signature coffee splits opinion sharply (some love it, others find it excessively bitter), and food consistency lags behind prices. Service improves when interacting with staff directly, but quality control across the kitchen remains uneven.

What reviews say by service

Specialty Coffee Roasters
Rich and full-bodied but polarises: some love it, others find signature coffee extremely bitter and poorly roasted.

Pastries and bagels well-received; tiramisu overly sweet with weak coffee flavour.

Comfortable gathering and reading space, though seating is limited.

Frequently asked questions

Is the signature coffee bitter?
Yes, reviewers consistently describe it as very bitter. Some enjoy this profile; others found it unpleasant even with added sugar. Best to ask before ordering if you prefer a milder brew.
What food should I order?
Bagels, pastries and brownie receive consistent praise. Main dishes like spaghetti and chicken pot are hit-or-miss; portions have been criticised as small for the price.

Most diners leave happy with the food, which many call tasty, fresh and fairly sized. The setting feels calm and spacious, and the rating holds strong across many reviews. Service is the sticking point. Several guests describe slow, cold or ignored staff, and a few say the team seemed untrained. Price is the other worry. One regular says a steak once cost RM50 but now sits near RM100 after a menu change. A party of eight reported a chicken chop at about RM32 to RM37. Some guests say the food is worth the money, but others feel the bill is high for Ipoh.

Food quality is inconsistent; bread and cakes can be excellent, but staleness and hygiene lapses frustrate repeat visits. Staff range from genuinely warm (Farah, Aqil) to dismissive or slow, and pricing errors or forgotten discounts have eroded trust. Location in Taman Teh Teik Seng draws regulars who praise freshly baked items and a clean space, yet service slowness and product freshness remain friction points.

Big Apple Donuts & Coffee @ Lotus's Ipoh

Most recent reviewers report discouraged staff, slow service, and frustration with donut restocking. The branch struggles with customer-facing basics: a single server prioritizing delivery orders over walk-ins, minimal engagement, and empty displays by mid-afternoon.
